Cooperative ecology human–Machine interfaces for safe intelligent transport systems: Cloud-based software case

Abstract

The analysis of the available solutions regarding the cooperative intelligent transport systems (ITS) and their human–machine interfaces (HMI) has been conducted. The standards and recommendations in the area of transport systems interfaces design is analysed. So-called ecology HMI and requirements for such interfaces and features of the application for ITS are discussed. Profiling of the requirements for the cooperative human–machine interface (CHMI) and the cooperative ecology human–machine interface (CEHMI) for such systems including the requirements to usability and safety based on a set of standards for ITSs has been performed. An approach and a design technique of human–machine interfaces for ITSs based on designing the cooperative human–machine interfaces for intelligent transport systems are suggested. The architecture of cloud-based CHMI for intelligent transport systems that consists of three main parts: client end, server end, and core-project and includes data models for the communication protocol and the common utility functions is developed. The prototype of the software system for CHMI for ITS examined in the laboratory conditions is described. The assessment using the GOMS method allowed to calculate the efficiency to execute the task of user interaction with the system.
